Intro: G Em G Em 
 
G 
let me off of this boat 
 
I'm sick of this ride 
 
the world is heading ever southward 
       Em 
and I can't stay in here 
    G 
and you're lying awake 
 
away on your side 
 
the feeling comes in waves and burns us 
    Em 
and I don't wanna die 
      G 
from your slippery hands 
 
to the line of your throat 
 
the fever now consumes us both 
      Em 
in a fire now we will go 
        C(maj7) 
                     Em 
why did you have to go 
           C(maj7) 
         stop
one day we will know 
 G 
in a bowing of heads and a passing of hands 
 
and all we thought they would understand 
   Em 
is lost and they won't know 
                  G 
and what have we left 
 
it's all that we got 
 
there is no x to mark our spot 
        Em 
what's past is done and gone 
          C(maj7) 
                       Em 
why did you have to burn 
         C(maj7) 
                     G 
one day you will learn 
 
G chord for about a minute
